What happens if you reverse the polarity on a motorcycle battery?
“Battery connection in reverse polarity is strictly prohibited. Such a wrong connection will damage the components of the FI system instantly when reverse power is applied.”
What happens when you reverse polarity on a car?
When the jumper cables are incorrectly connected, the polarity of the electrical system on the vehicle with the dead battery will be reversed for a few seconds. This can irreparably damage many of the sensitive electronic components that are common on today’s vehicles, such as on-board computers and electronic sensors.
Can you jump a completely dead motorcycle battery?
Jumpstarting a bike, especially one that’s been sitting for a long time, is the easiest way to get going with a dead battery, and it’s no different from jumpstarting a car. You’ll need to use a pair of jumper cables to connect your battery to another vehicle’s battery.
Should I disconnect motorcycle battery before charging?
Remove the Battery From the Bike Your battery takes a charge from the motorcycle’s electrical system, so it would make sense to trickle charge in the same manner. Most experts agree that removing the battery before trickle charging is the safest scenario.
What to do if you hook your car battery backwards?
Write a clear letter to the franchise manager and/or owner outlining the problem and requesting a full refund on the battery as well as repair of the associated damages. Attach copies of the “evidence”. Give him a chance to make good.
What should I post on the Roadstar Forum?

What was the last post on the Roadstar clinic?
Let us know where you’re riding including any runs, rides or events the forum members might want to check out. Be sure to use the Calendar icon when posting the event. Then it will show up on the site calendar. Last Post: Scavenger Hunt Time! Scavenger Hunt Time! Keep it civil & respectful. Last Post: End of the year tunes! End of the year tunes!
Can a battery be charged with the polarity reversed?
Yes, it can, but it can happen only in two ways. First, if you are filling it up for the first time. If you use an old type of charger, you can short the terminals. You could be hooking up the charger backward and end up reverse charging your battery. You won’t see a spark because the battery actually gains voltage while you charge it.
What causes a Yamaha Roadstar to lock up?
In the transmission of the affected motorcycles, Yamaha announced that they’d manufactured the second/third pinion gear wrong. This caused abnormal wear on the transmission. If this happens, the circlip may break and come loose, which would cause the transmission to lock up.
Why does my Yamaha xv1600 Roadstar keep tapping?
Upon restarting the motor, a small quantity of air may enter the lifter. It’ll need a few minutes for the air to spurt out of the lifter and self-adjust to proper clearance. However, Continuous tapping in the camshaft is not normal. Constant tapping could be due to a part known as the flat-lifter.
What happens when the polarity of a fuse is reversed?
It is a bit ironic because most equipment is designed with some form of reverse polarity protection. This is usually in a diode and fuse form. This is the theory: if reverse polarity occurs, the designed diode will then conduct and short the power supply in order to ground and trigger the fuse to blow up.
